Barrel. Get what makes you happy, but I think many of us will say J&J's and LAPCO Bigshots. I used a J&J 14" Ceramic for years and recently pulled it out of storage, cleaned her up real nice and got my share of eliminations for the day. J&J's are great, solid barrels.
I just sold the Spyder for more upgrades for my main squeeze. My 98 with a 14" J&J and a solid rubber foregrip. Also installed were the TechT Vortex Mod and their Squishy Paddles that I used at my local parks Big Game. Almost 900 people attended that day and you can imagine the amount of paint that was in the air, whew. It was fun to go old school and my marker performed flawlessly, not a break and cleaning was light at the end of the day. Really nice. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCZWhJCF6Ig">

Well, what don't you like about the gun to start with? The stock barrel on a 98 isn't exactly great. The most common one I hear people mention is a J&J ceramic for a replacement. I personally replaced my trigger first. The double trigger elminated a lot of cramping that I would get due to having a hand injury. However if your comfortable enough to play with the single trigger then you can wait for that. The expansion chamber isn't really a must-have right off the bat. A 98 is, dare I say designed, to ignore the occasional burst of liquid CO2, which shouldn't happen too often, especially if your gun is stock otherwise. I have an electric trigger, can fire out 15 BPS, and still haven't had it lock up on me more then twice. Spikes with CO2 are however pretty common. If you switch to HPA then the X-chamber just becomes useless. So the generic advice would be the barrel, the personal advice the trigger. I doubt anyone would say that the X-chamber should be the first thing you look into. ------------- 98 Custom Cyclone Double E-Trigger Polished Internals Freak kit X-chamber CP Drop w/On/Off |
